Lauren Reid is a cultural professional working across exhibition-making, anthropology and film. She is a Co-Director of the insitu collective, Lecturer in Curatorial Practice at Node Centre for Curatorial Studies, and Co-Founder of the Project Space Festival Berlin. Currently she is a PhD Candidate in Social and Cultural Anthropology at the Freie Universität, Berlin with the project “Thinking Beyond the Final Frontier: Perception and Representation of Outer Space in Thailand”. Her research results in exhibitions, writing and moving images that combine cultural artefacts, documentary sources, field recordings, artworks and artistic references. In her curatorial practice, she is especially interested in immersive experiences that activate all the senses - touch, sound, sight, smell and even taste - as a method to bring audiences inside the world of a topic, be it outer space, a future nuclear waste repository, or a fictional character.
